Born in Cork, Ireland, Cillian Murphy captures a quiet act of defiance with a final glance at Prince Henry—echoing a chilling order from the War of Independence, when British authorities decreed that anyone caught with hands in their pockets could be shot.
Our thoughts on this significant and poignant day, as always, are with all those affected by the tragedy at Hillsborough and we pause in memory of the 97 fans who will never be forgotten.
England’s World Cup warm-up ends in defeat 😮
Kaoru Mitoma’s goal secures a 1-0 win for Japan at Wembley, with England beaten by an Asian side for the first time.
Any Irish citizen who accepts an MBE, 'honorary' knighthood, or any other silly trinket from the British establishment should be forced to surrender their Irish passport and lick King Charles' bare arse live on TV.
England’s opener today, Zak Crawley, and number 11 Adil Rashid have each batted 251 times in first class cricket in their careers.
Adil Rashid has a better first class batting average.

Zac Crawley will play his 62nd Test match in Adelaide. This makes him 9th most-capped specialist opening batsman in English history. He has played more Tests than Jack Hobbs & Herbert Sutcliffe did. His average is the worst of those 9 batters at 31.49. #engvaus#cricketcounts
Hosting pink ball, day/night matches,especially on the Gabba pitch, gives Australia a huge and unfair advantage! Is there really a need for them on Ashes tours. Their grounds are anyway sold out. Australia have won 12 of the 13 played there so far. Of course Mitchell Starc loves them averaging 17 in white ball against 29 in red ball Tests. Batting in the twilight is a nasty problem - without any worthwhile practice - as England are about to find out!
Was that the most dramatic first day of all time ? I think it was .. What’s Day 2 going to bring .. My prediction is for England to Bat the day and have full control by the end .. #Ashes
90+5mins: 🇭🇺 2-3 🇮🇪
